Dear Bride and Groom,

When you contact me we will set up an appointment to meet and discuss your hopes and dreams for your wedding. If we are unable to meet in person before your wedding, I am happy to discuss ideas by phone and e-mail.

I will design your ceremony to express your unique bond of love. I encourage you to include any prayers, poems, and promises that are meaningful for you. Your ceremony may have a special theme, perhaps Celtic or interfaith. You may choose to write your own vows and ring exchange or choose from the many that I have available. Family or friends may want to take part in your ceremony by doing special readings.

A variety of symbolic rituals, historically grounded, can be incorporated to give your ceremony deeper meaning:
• the ancient custom of the hand fasting or “tying the knot”;
• sharing the wine cup;
• acknowledging your parents in a special way;
• if you have children, including them through a gift giving ritual;
• commingling sand or lighting a unity candle is a unique way to express your oneness
• ethnic customs from your background

After the ceremony I offer you a beautiful keepsake of your wedding vows and ring exchange. I will deliver your marriage license to the county clerk for filing and make sure that your paperwork is in order. I want your wedding day to be as stress free as possible.

It is my great honor to be part of your special day. I promise you a commitment to detail while performing your ceremony with dignity, love, and joy.

Many blessings,

Reverend Lorie Adoff
